Mr. Mermaid, Your Tail Is Wrapped Around Me

Zhu Ting has been a loner since childhood and has never been interested in anything.

She strongly suspects that the man who just moved in next door is deliberately trying to seduce her, stirring in her, for the first time, a desire to make someone hers.

One day, she finally gives in and hits him with a stick... then locks him up.

When he wakes, he's delighted, but insists on playing hard to get. He can't even do it properly, and often says one thing while doing another.

He says he would never submit to her, then turns around and grabs pots and pans to prepare a lavish lunch. Zhu Ting is often left utterly baffled.

Then, a month later, the man's magic seems to stop working.

Zhu Ting suddenly realizes that what she's doing is wrong and immediately lets him go.

But he leaves without complaint, only to come back a few days later, crying and accusing her of seducing him and then abandoning him.

Zhu Ting looks down and watches as a beautiful fish tail grows out of him.

The slick tail presses against her and winds tightly around her hand.

This merman has no idea his true form has been exposed and continues to sob, “Zhu Ting, you're the only mate I'll ever have in my whole fish life. How could you abandon me...?”

His tears turn into pearls, clattering to the ground.
